Do Caseta dimmers reset during power surge?
During a storm last night, our power went out … or so it appeared.
All lights in my home on Caseta dimmers went out. A nearby UPS powering my weather station base clicked over to battery. My network equipment, including my Caseta hub, remained powered by a different UPS.
For what felt like ten seconds, we sat in near darkness, the room lit only by the YouTube video we were still watching on the living room TV, which isn’t on a UPS of any kind.
Ten seconds later the lights came back on.
What the heck happened?
… and yes, the TV actually does power off the moment power is removed, along with the other devices on the same outlet.
EDIT: An attempt to answer my own question.
Upon further review; all the devices in my home that I’m aware that were affected, including the lights that were on at the time but went off, are on the same 120V phase, while my living room where the TV is located is on the other 120V phase, so right now I’m assuming the power company briefly lost a 120V leg during the lightning strike that occurred at the same time … or my home’s electrical has bigger issues.
